Live online art classes?

Looking for online art classes, that meet for live instruction, and include personal feedback.
While sheltering-in-place, I’ve been enjoying weekly figure drawing classes, which meet via zoom. Can you help me find similar classes, so I can keep this habit after this class ends?
Details on my preferences:
- A hard requirement is that I would like to take a class which meets “live”, during weekends or evenings, pacific time. (I’ve tried pre-recorded, “on-demand” classes, and just don’t have the self-discipline to keep it up without a fixed schedule.)
- Meetings on weekends or evenings, pacific time
- Ideally, the teacher would give some feedback, or there would be class critiques.
- I’m open to any kind of art or design. I have supplies for drawing and some kinds of painting. I would be willing to get new supplies, but they’d have to be something easily available online.
- I’m willing to pay for quality instruction, but can’t afford a semester of “real” art school.

The Cambridge Center for Adult Education is now offering live online art classes. I've taken and enjoyed their in-person classes. They run on East Coast time, but if you can do early evenings you might find something that suits your schedule: https://ccae.org/online-classes
Alrernatively, try a local school/community college near you!

In case your googling didn't turn this up: The best online art classes in 2020 (the list seems to be updated fairly frequently, as I first saved this in 2018)

Best answer: The Seattle Artist League is offering online mini classes for $5 as well as session-length classes for a discounted price. They are live and have morning and evening classes. Topics include figure drawing, illustration, printmaking, acrylic, and more. I recommend :)

Response by poster: Thanks, all! The Seattle Artist League looks perfect. For those interested in the human figure, I can also recommend Jacob Hankinson's Market Street Atelier.
